Love's interior...

 "May my life be a continual prayer, 
a long act of love."
- St Elizabeth of the Trinity

"Love draws its object into itself;
we draw Jesus into ourselves; Jesus draws us into Himself.

Then carried above ourselves into love's interior,
seeking God, we go to meet Him to meet His Spirit, which is His love,
and this love burns us, consumes us, and draws us into unity
where beatitude awaits us.  Jesus meant this when He said:
'With great desire have I desired to eat this Pasch with you.'"

From Collected Works of Elizabeth of the Trinity, vol 1, pg 100

"By our actions we tell Him of our love." 
St Elizabeth of the Trinity

"O my God, Trinity whom I adore, 
help me forget myself entirely
so to establish myself in you, 
unmovable and peaceful 
as if my soul were already in eternity."

St Elizabeth of the Trinity , pray for us!

Traditionally 

During the Octave of All Saints' Day (Nov 1 thru Nov 8) any of the faithful,
by devoutly visiting a cemetery and praying for the departed,
can obtain a plenary indulgence (each day this is done),
applicable to the poor souls in purgatory,
(under the usual conditions for obtaining indulgences).

HOWEVER
THIS YEAR the indulgence has been 
extended through the ENTIRE MONTH!!
READ:
 
Let us empty Purgatory!
